In 2008 I seem to remember it wasn't too nice in the week preceding either, so 550 represents a good recovery. <BR/><BR/>I'm pretty confident that the underlying trend is upwards, and that if we have good weather, we'll be back up to 700 if not more. <BR/><BR/>And note the way I'm talking confidently about 'we' as if I've done it loads of times and know all about it. I've always found excuses before and have never done it. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm banking on the fact that, having forked out 14 quid up front, the Yorkshireman in me won't let me wimp out, even if it's a torrential easterly on the night.Rob Ainsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545429147297468874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570734860219292199.post-59621595739438392222009-04-07T09:10:00.000+01:002009-04-07T09:10:00.000+01:00Some day I want to do this ride, but it won't ...Some day I want to do this ride, but it won't be this year. 4 weeks and counting since I sprained/broke my ankle (I chipped the bone) and I'm not back on the bike yet, and probably won't be for another week or two at least.<BR/><BR/>I probably wouldn't have done this this year anyway, but I was planning on a trip to the seaside with some friends in the summer, and probably another cycling holiday of the "book several B&Bs each about 25-45 miles apart" sort.<BR/><BR/>*sigh* I do miss the freedom my bike gives me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570734860219292199.post-64048583547213917092009-04-07T09:00:00.000+01:002009-04-07T09:00:00.000+01:00Hi - why do you think 2006 was a peak and numbers ...Hi - why do you think 2006 was a peak and numbers will be lower this year?
